ESR dosimeter based on P2O5–CaO–Na2O glass system

IR and ESR investigations on V2O5–P2O5–BaO glass system with opto-electronic potential

“…The interest for phosphate glasses increased because of a great variety of opto-electronic applications in which they are involved [1][2][3], the presence in different organic or inorganic composites, as nuclear waste hosts [4][5][6] or for medical applications [7][8][9]. Most of the applications are related to the molecular level structure of these glasses.…”

Analysis of γ-irradiated synthetic bone grafts by 29Si MAS-NMR spectroscopy, calorimetry and XRD

“…The interaction between radiation and glasses causes a variety of changes which are dependant on the composition and structure of the materials, as well as the irradiation parameters [14]. Consequently, it is imperative to determine whether the structure of Ca-Sr-Na-ZnSi glasses will be altered as a result of exposure to the typical amounts of c-irradiation required to sterilise such materials prior to implantation.…”

Spectroscopic investigation of P2O5–CdO–Li2O glass system

“…6 and are characterized by a doublet centered at g = 2.023 ± 0.002 ascribed to phosphorous oxygen hole center (POHC). The term POHC designates the defect responsible for a well-known ESR spectrum in irradiated phosphate glasses characterized by an approximately g tensor with g~2.009 ± 0.002 and a small, nearly isotropic 31 P hyperfine interaction (~40 G) [2,19]. The g value of the doublet is larger than that of the free spin, consistent with the nature of the hole center.…”

“…Many researchers have focused on phosphate glasses in the last years due to their diversified applications in technology, medicine, as biomaterials and in clinical dosimetry [1][2][3][4][5].…”
